Folks- For a virtual break from our summer conditions, I'd like to invite you
to a talk about my experiences in the Arctic Ocean last summer. I'll be
speaking tomorrow night (Monday, Aug 22) at the Denver Field Ornithologists
Meeting. Per usual the meeting is at the Ricketson Auditorium, Denver Museum
of Nature & Science. Doors open @ 7 and are locked @ 7:30 (use the entrance on
the west side, facing the park.)
Synopsis:
The DFO Feature Presentations resume on Monday August 22 with an icy blast!
Join Bill for a talk about his experiences (birding and otherwise) aboard an
icebreaker last summer in the Arctic Ocean. Bill spent five weeks at sea aboard
the US Coast Guard Cutter Healy, a 420-foot icebreaker, as a PolarTREC teacher
assigned to the Canada-US joint expedition surveying the extended continental
shelf north of both countries.
The cruise reached a latitudinal high point of 82.5°N, 139° W (over 800 miles
north of Pt. Barrow, AK.) Over the course of the trip many interesting birds,
other wildlife, and high arctic phenomena were encountered, and Bill will
recount these along with other interesting aspects of the cruise. For a preview
check out Polartrec International Continental Shelf Survey. Select completed
expeditions and scroll down to 2010 and look for the “International Continental
Shelf Survey.”
Hope to see you there! -Bill Schmoker, Longmont
